Rare diseases in Peru: insufficient budget and unspent funds put treatments at risk
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported7m ago
More than two million people in Peru live with a rare or orphan disease, where accessing necessary treatment depends heavily on budgetary and administrative decisions. Recent reports indicate that the allocated budget for these therapies is insufficient, and existing funds remain unexecuted, placing ongoing treatments at significant risk.
Simultaneously, in a separate healthcare development in Mexico, the Social Security Commission of the Chamber of Deputies requested an additional one billion pesos for the Mexican Social Insurance Institute (IMSS) for the year 2027. These requested funds are intended to improve healthcare personnel benefits within the institution.
